Stabbed in the Back

If you don't take the time to actually study the work you are criticizing...

...then in essence you are stabbing the author in the back.

Content

If you add content at your meetings for Masons...

...you will find that content is also what attracts new candidates.

Membership Issues

If it's about money, it's about membership.

If it's about "making good men better," then it's about the work.

How can we combine both effectively?

Supercenter

What Freemasonry looks like when it is "marketed" to the masses.

Marketing

Why are Freemasons trying to find new ways to attract new members?

Isn't that marketing?

Do we have a product to sell?

Mr. Data

"It is the struggle itself that is most important.

We must strive to be more than we are.

It does not matter that we will never reach our ultimate goal.

The effort yields it's own rewards."

- Mr. Data

Joining Lodges

"We make good men better."

Tree

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."

Greek Proverb

Lodge

What is it exactly, that keeps you going to your Lodge?

Masculinity

How does masculinity play into and support "making good men better?"

Apprentices

Apprentices, by title, are learning the work.

They have not yet made up their mind if this is the type of work they want to master.

In other words, they may not want to be a Mason.
